Union Jack amps?

[brentrocks]

There is a fella on tgp that wants to do a partial trade with me for my 59 burst. He is offering a union Jack head and 2 D 13 cabs and $800 for my lp. He claims the head was $2000 new and the cabs are $900 each?

 

Union Jack website isn't much help. I do know they are hand wired USA made. The cabs I have no clue. Does anybody have any experience with these amps?

 

 

Thanks!

Doesn't sound like that good of a deal to me. If you haven't heard of it, the chance of turning it into cash becomes a problem for you.

If it hasn't sold on fleabay for at least what you're calling "the value", it isn't worth it. That is, I concur with Mars Hall.

Never heard of Union Jack but Divided by 13 is one of the more respected boutique brands out there right now. I wanna say when Sir Paul did the Super Bowl a few years back the geetter player (players?) were using D 13 amps.

Never heard of them either, but was intrigued so did a little searching

 

Closest thing I could find on Union Jack amps was a HC review of their JTM45 style who had purchased it used for $700; as well as someone trying to sell their JTM45 style (which appears to have been unsuccesful)- not sure what value any of this adds to the thread other then me also casting my vote for a no-go.

I have seen Union Jack pop up on E-Bay and TGP from time to time. I was browsing there web site yesterday as a matter of fact. They do list the new price as $2000 but I don't think I have ever seen a used one offered for more than $900. I would bet they actually sell for more like $700-$800.
